SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,608, dated January24, 1882.

Application tiled September 12, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may coigoern:

Be itknown that. I, WILLIAM KENNISH, of New York, in the county of NewYork and State ot' New York, have invented a new and 5 useful Ilnprovement in Mueilngelteeeptacles,

of'whieh the following is a t'ull, clear, land eX- aet deseiiption.

The object of my invention is to provide receptacles for mueilage with adeviee for semp- Io ing oft'surplus guin from the brush when it iswithdrawn from the vessel.

In thedrawings herewith accompanying, Figure 1 is a vertical section ot'a mueilage-bottle furnished with mydeviee'. Fig.2 is a view 15 ot' theeover tilted to show the spring d, comb d', and the brush as it is beingwithdrawn. Fig. 3 is a View of the cover, with rim partly broken away toshow the plain spring d.

A is a cylindrical jar, ot -any suitable subzo stance, preferably ofmetal or glass.

a is the cover, eonsistingof a rim and a top, which may be east orstamped from one piece of material, a hole being eut through the een`ter for the passage ot' the brush.

d is a comb, the teeth being formed in one z5 end of a thin band ofspring metal, the other end being fastened by soldering or otherwise tothe under side ofthe cover, as shown.

d is also a band of spring metahfastened in the same manner as d to thecover, and is for 3o the purpose of keeping the brush up to the comb,thereby facilitating the removal of the gum. 1t may also be toothed, iffound to be desirable.

The advantage offered by a comb overa 35 scraper with an unserrated edgeis that it requires less force to remove the excessive mueilage, andwill consequently Iadmit of a spring weak enough to be readilyv openedbythe brush when pushed back.

I claim- In a mueiluge-receptztele, comb d,in combination with spring d,attached to the cover of a vessel, as shown and described.

WILLI'AM KENNSH.
